Fallingwater Strengthened
When one of America’s most treasured landmarks experienced severe cracking and defl ections, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy added VSL to the team to help restore and strengthen Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater. Completed in 1939, Fallingwater is comprised of a series of concrete cantilever “trays” 30-ft. above a waterfall. Previous efforts failed to permanently address excessive defl ections of the cantilever and repair the cracks. After a thorough design review, the owner and engineer selected an external post-tensioning solution for its durability, aesthetics and structural unobtrusiveness.

Convention Center Expansion
The Colorado Convention Center Expansion project is a 1.4 million square foot expansion of the existing facility. This is a multi-level project, which includes a 1,000-car attached parking garage. The light rail and street that ran past the existing building had to be relocated to run under the new structure. Both the street and light rail pass directly beneath the parking garage and truck loading dock. There is also a passenger loading/unloading area and a station for the rail line under the garage.
